Clownburner 0 #8 December 11, 2003 Good for you! Be careful out there, Gravity's a bitch. Personally, I iike flying my 220 sqft AirYacht, and I get nice slow landings, and I can sink the thing into an egg-cup if required. The only downside is not being able to jump in high winds, but that has the advantage of me not being able to jump in high winds. 7CP#1 | BTR#2 | Payaso en fuego Rodriguez "I want hot chicks in my boobies!"- McBeth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #11 December 11, 2003 I will be loading my 200sq ft + TUNA BOAT Triathalon BACK into the container for the Eloy Boogie. I think I have about 10 jumps since the begionning of OCT... I will be doing night jumps... and its higher altitude at Eloy... I want to be able to jump my brand new Samurai when it comes in a couple months but I need to get current again before I try it. I will stick with my Tuna Boat for now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But hey you got right back on a load, and right back in the air, and that's what counts. At least you didn't do like I did and fuck your back all up. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!
